- [When Europe Loved Islam](https://alandalustribune.com/when-europe-loved-islam/): Foreign Policy   Archive.org From the outside, with its high minarets and bulbous Mughal-style dome, the Wilmersdorf mosque, located on Brienner Street in southwest Berlin, looks much the same as it did when it was built in the 1920s. But the institution, just like the city around it, has changed. Today, the mosque is a quiet place. It mainly serves as an information center: School children sometimes visit on field trips; it hosts interfaith brunches. A small community of Muslims regularly show up for Friday prayer. It’s all a far cry from the days when the Wilmersdorf mosque was the […]

W Dr Farah el-Sharif](https://alandalustribune.com/the-war-on-iran-and-gaza-and-the-betrayal-of-arab-regimes-w-dr-farah-el-sharif/): Youtube link Eon English sits down with Dr. Farah El-Sharif, scholar of Islamic intellectual history, public theologian, and author of the Substack publication Sermons at the Court, to discuss her forthcoming paper Islam After Gaza, a theological and civilisational account of what this moment demands of the Muslim world.

An Economics and Political Science Professor at the Islamic University of Gaza, he frequently provides astute insights on the situation on the ground despite living in unspeakably difficult conditions. He has been a firsthand […]
- [From Córdoba to the Maghreb: The living legacy of Andalusi music](https://alandalustribune.com/from-cordoba-to-the-maghreb-the-living-legacy-of-andalusi-music/): By: Rachida Lamri | Date: February 10, 2026 | Newarab.com In medieval Muslim-ruled Iberia, during the golden age of Al Andalus, a certain chamber music was born. It evolved and echoed for centuries in the royal palaces, noble courts and culture of Córdoba, Seville and Granada. This music was forged over time and, quite literally, through movement: musicians, poets and theorists arrived from across the Muslim world and the wider Mediterranean, bringing to the royal courts their repertoires, instruments and ideas, which were refined locally into something unmistakably Andalusi.

- [Report From Iran's Largest Mosque: Faith And Defiance In A Time Of War](https://alandalustribune.com/report-from-irans-largest-mosque-faith-and-defiance-in-a-time-of-war/): Youtube link On March 21, I visited the Grand Mosalla of Tehran, Iran’s largest mosque, where more than 100,000 had gathered calmly for the Eid Prayer. After the service, I asked several worshippers to comment on the West’s war on the Islamic Republic. Here’s what they had to say. -Dmitri Lascaris
- [The Heart in the Sino-Islamic Tradition](https://alandalustribune.com/the-heart-in-the-sino-islamic-tradition/): NAOKI YAMAMOTO MAR 21 A diagram of the “Heart” (心) from the Han Kitab tradition, a classical Sino-Islamic intellectual heritage. The Arabic word for Allah is written within the Chinese character for “heart” (心). At its core, East Asian thought may be understood as a sustained reflection on the harmony of the Three Powers (三才): Heaven, Earth, and Humanity. Heaven signifies the transcendent, the divine order; Earth, the macrocosmic field in which that order unfolds; and Humanity, the microcosm in which it is received, embodied, and realized. The task of human life, therefore, is not merely to exist within this […]
- [“Rules of War” or Why It’s Okay to Bomb Palestinians and Persians](https://alandalustribune.com/rules-of-war-or-why-its-okay-to-bomb-palestinians-and-persians/): By Kabir Helminski A deep prejudice against Islam runs in the veins of many Westerners. Palestinians and Iranians have been the target of dehumanizing lies, a classic case of psychological projection in which Israel and the West accuse Muslims of the kind of crimes they themselves are guilty of. In flagrant denial of their own crimes, they project the mirror image of themselves upon Muslims, many believing that Islam by its very nature is an enemy of so-called Western values. It is this demonization of Muslims that has allowed many Westerners to condone the genocide in Gaza. A combination of […]

Why did they agree when sued for peace before? Given that Iran is an Islamic Republic, these questions have Quranic answers. This Ramadan, let’s go through a bit of the Quran together, to understand them better. This is a bit of the Quranic art of war. Your unreliable narrator Note that I am not a Muslim. I […]
- [The Valor of the Few: Ramadan as sacrifice, fasting as defiance and Palestine as the modern day Badr and Thermopylae.](https://alandalustribune.com/the-valor-of-the-few-ramadan-as-sacrifice-fasting-as-defiance-and-palestine-as-the-modern-day-badr-and-thermopylae/): Farah El-Sharif Those who were warned, “Your enemies have mobilized their forces against you, so fear them,” the warning only made them grow stronger in faith and they replied, “Allah alone is sufficient as an aid for us and is the best Protector.” (Qur’an 3:173) One might fast but he gets nothing from his fast except hunger. – The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Fasting is our sacrifice, it is the life of the soul. Let us sacrifice our body, since the soul has arrived as a guest. – Mawlana Rumi 90 Ramadans ago, at the old age of 81, Shaykh Farhan […]
- [Recalling Professor Abdus Salam: A Man of Faith and Science](https://alandalustribune.com/recalling-professor-abdus-salam-a-man-of-faith-and-science/): by Salim Mansur “To God belong the Names Most Beautiful.” — The Qur’an (7:180) “God is beautiful and He loves beauty.” — Muhammad, the prophet of Islam. [Note: I wrote this tribute in honor of Professor Abdus Salam on his passing in November 1996 and was published in the London (UK) based Sufi journal in the Spring 1997 issue. I am re-publishing it in memoriam of Professor Salam’s centenary year of his birth in January 1926 in British India. Professor Salam was the first Muslim physicist/scientist awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1979, which he shared with Steven Weinberg […]
- [The Futuwwa Ninja: “Islamicate Fantasy” as an Imaginative Practice](https://alandalustribune.com/the-futuwwa-ninja-islamicate-fantasy-as-an-imaginative-practice/): By: Naoki Yamamoto | Date: January 17, 2026 | Substack.com This is an excerpt from a lecture that will be given in Germany next week. This project explores the significance of imagining fictional stories and characters rooted in Islamic ethics, Islamic cultural memory, and Japanese cultural worlds. My concern here is not fiction as entertainment alone, but fiction as an imaginative practice through which ethical life can be sensed, tested, and shared. If traditional cultures can be understood as long term efforts to give form to prayer and to orient human life toward universality, then many dominant forms of contemporary […]
- [The Quantum Physical nature of Isra and Mi'raj](https://alandalustribune.com/the-quantum-physical-nature-of-isra-and-miraj/): By: Safiyyah Sabreen Syeed | Date: January 16, 2026 | Safiyyahsabreen.substack.com When we analyse the ahadith and Quranic ayaat related to Isra and Mi’raj, we can see that the Prophet ﷺ is shown the fine-grained structure of reality in this journey. The Quran refers it to Ayatal Kubra (the greatest signs). The Prophet (saw) sees the fundamental structure of the universe. He witnesses how behind all this visible multiplicity is an unseen, unspoken yet magnificent unity (Tawhid). There is just one order and one command center – the Divine. But there’s so much more. How does he (saw) interact with time? The warping and dilation that […]

It will be one of its chief claims to notice in the moral history of humanity… To come down specifically to the political passions—the “clerks” [Benda means in French by “clerks” what is meant in English by “intellectuals”] were in opposition to them in two ways. They were either entirely indifferent to these passions, and, like Leonardo da Vinci, Malebranche, Goethe, set an example of attachment to the purely disinterested activity of the mind and created a belief in the supreme value of this form […]
- [Moroccan Cafe Fight Offers "a Lesson in al-Majdoub"](https://alandalustribune.com/moroccan-cafe-fight-offers-a-lesson-in-majdoub/): Mo Hamdouni I almost always take the qahwa bldiya (traditional café) as my observation point when I travel. Not out of exoticism, and not to “watch people” the way one watches an object, but because the qahwa bldiya is a small theatre at the right scale: everything is public and yet discreet; everything is close and yet regulated. The cup, the glass, the fire, the sugar, the payment, the habit — a grammar of gestures where you can see, in slow motion, what a city allows and what it forbids. One day, after three days of returning to the same […]
- [Moroccan Jewish Man Raided By Austrian Police for Exposing Genocidal Israeli Ambassador](https://alandalustribune.com/moroccan-jewish-man-raided-by-austrian-police-for-exposing-genocidal-israeli-ambassador/): By: Middle East Eye | Date: November 12, 2025 | Youtube.com In a new ITV documentary, Breaking Ranks: Inside Israel’s War, former Israeli soldiers describe how Gaza civilians were killed, often without warning, in an environment where “anything that moves” became a target. In the hour-long film, soldiers reveal how young and unarmed Palestinians were used as human shields in what they called the “mosquito protocol.” Testimonies describe indiscriminate fire, flattened neighbourhoods, and orders that left many questioning their own roles in the violence. In the two years of genocide against Gaza, 83 per cent of those killed have been […]
- [Al-Ghazali: The Thinker Who Linked Money to Morality](https://alandalustribune.com/al-ghazali-the-thinker-who-linked-money-to-morality/): By: Financial Historian | Date: December 5, 2025 | Youtube.com Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali lived during the height of the Islamic Golden Age, but his analysis of money, morality, and power feels like it was written for the 21st century. This video uncovers how a medieval scholar understood the psychology of wealth, the danger of corruption, and the economic consequences of losing integrity — long before modern economics existed. For anyone trying to understand today’s financial system, inflation, speculation, or inequality, Al-Ghazali’s ideas offer a shockingly relevant roadmap. Key Facts & Insights • Al-Ghazali argued that money is a tool, not […]
- [Are UFOs "Ultimately Jinnish in Origin"?](https://alandalustribune.com/are-ufos-ultimately-jinnish-in-origin/): Notable Muslim writers in English who have addressed the UFO issue include Nadeem Haque and Charles Upton. The latter is the author of numerous highly-recommended books on mystical and esoteric subjects. Here is his new article. -Ed. A Possible Explanation of “The Collins Elite” by Charles Upton One significant element in contemporary UFO mythology is the notion of something called the Collins Elite, supposedly a group of Evangelic Christians who once operated within the Defense Department, people who believed that the UFO Aliens are not extraterrestrial astronauts but demons; the existence of this group was apparently first mentioned in the […]

The prisoner of war is an American man. First, the officers acknowledge the torture they are performing violates the Geneva convention. But then we find out they won’t be the ones who cut off Caravaggio’s thumb. The nurse is assigned that task. We’re told that because she is a Muslim, she has no qualms about such a penalty if she thinks […]
- [Loss of Religion Leads to Nihilism, War (Emmanuel Todd in Hiroshima)](https://alandalustribune.com/loss-of-religion-leads-to-nihilism-war-emmanuel-todd-in-hiroshima/): Emmanuel Todd Substack Excerpt with comment: My reflections on war, on what everyone can see by watching the television news (our daily spectacle), have therefore led me to a new interest in religion as a historical factor. Observing the consequences of the disappearance of religion in the present day has even opened up a completely new field of research for me. When I describe the history of the disappearance of religion, I now distinguish three stages: active religion, zombie religion, and zero religion. Active religion is when people believe in their god and worship him. I am talking here about […]

Leaked document passed to Mintpress show in extraordinary detail how this network was set up, by whom, and the precise contractual arrangements between a British intelligence agency created to institute four levels of arms length relations in order that the end ‘product’ be deniable. This is to ensure, in other words, as one of the leaked documents says: “Campaign products are never directly attributed to RICU”. Creating […]
- [Shocking Facts About New York's Muslim Mayor!](https://alandalustribune.com/shocking-facts-about-new-yorks-muslim-mayor/): Foadebate In a recent interview I conducted with Professor Kevin Barrett, a well-known political analyst and Islamologist, we examined this very question in depth. Barrett pointed to Momdani’s election as mayor of New York—despite the intense climate of Islamophobia and influential Zionist lobbying—and described the event as both “unexpected” and “performative.” It was unexpected because a Muslim figure, openly defending Palestinian rights, managed to win in one of the most powerful Western cities. Yet it was performative in the sense that the American governance system consistently attempts to channel dissent into controlled, non-radical forms. According to Barrett, although Momdani holds […]
- [Islam Is Not the Enemy of Christianity: An Arab Christian Perspective](https://alandalustribune.com/islam-is-not-the-enemy-of-christianity-an-arab-christian-perspective/): By: Vanessa Beeley | Date: November 2, 2025 | Beeley.substack.com This article was written by Arab Christian Myriam Charabaty, tagged in the post, for UK Column. It is a very important report that I cannot recommend highly enough. We have all been lied to by Western regimes, for far too long. Now Trump is putting Nigeria on his list of targets because “genocide of Christians” – another narrative that needs serious investigation – who is behind Boko Haram (Al Qaeda in Nigeria) and why is the world silent about the massacres of Shia Muslims in Nigeria? Islam Is Terrorism, and […]
- [Agadir, Morocco: Epicenter of a Generational Earthquake?](https://alandalustribune.com/agadir-morocco-epicenter-of-a-generational-earthquake/): By Kevin Barrett, for Al-Andalus Tribune Agadir is a major city on the Atlantic coast of Morocco, south of Marrakesh and Asfi. As the urban hub of southwestern coastal Morocco, it’s all the way across the country from where I live in Saidia, the far northeastern corner where the Algerian border meets the Mediterranean. I decided to visit Agadir for various reasons, or maybe no reason at all. First, Ryan Air dangled the prospect of a $30 roundtrip flight. Then I remembered the book Agadir by the Swedish poet Artur Lundqvist—an unforgettable description of the devastating 1960 earthquake that leveled […]

Nadeem’s book argues that the four ‘Big Questions’, i.e., life’s origins, consciousness, extraterrestrial life, and physics unification, are deeply interconnected, rather than siloed topics. Nadeem Haque is a researcher and author of several non-fiction and (philosophical) fiction books and numerous articles, focusing on several areas at the frontiers of knowledge: consciousness, foundations of evolution, physics unification, history and philosophy of science, environmentalism, animal rights and human history. His main goal has […]
- [Boycott Starbucks! Anti-Genocide Protests in Valencia and Barcelona](https://alandalustribune.com/boycott-starbucks-anti-genocide-protests-in-valencia-and-barcelona/): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqPbyS0Wbsk Anti-genocide protesters turned out in huge numbers in the Spanish cities of Barcelona and Valencia on Wednesday during a widely-supported general strike for Gaza, which labor unions staged to challenge Trump-n-Yahoo’s dubious “ceasefire” between Hamas and and the GZE (Genocidal Zionist Entity, pronounced “JEEEZ!”) Tens of thousands participated in the protests. Fifteen people were arrested in Barcelona, where Starbucks and MacDonalds, both pro-genocide companies, were targeted. Meanwhile, in Valencia, thousands surrounded the Roig Arena, where a GZE basketball team, Hapoel Jerusalem, was playing. Five protesters were arrested, and police were forced to evacuate GZE players from their hotel and […]
- [GAZA CITY | Johnny Punish (Bombing Palestine Rock)](https://alandalustribune.com/gaza-city-johnny-punish-bombing-palestine-rock/): By: Punish Studios | Date: October 5, 2025 | Youtube.com “Gaza City” is a hard-hitting protest rock track from Johnny Punish — a raw, unapologetic anthem exposing the horror, hypocrisy, and human cost of war. Written in the tradition of Joe Strummer and punk’s conscience, this song takes aim at governments, profiteers, and the machinery of genocide — while standing in solidarity with ordinary people caught in the crossfire. The lyrics pull no punches. From “Party Avenue” to “Freedom on parole,” Gaza City tells the story of everyday life under bombardment, the complicity of power, and the demand for moral […]
- [Emmanuel Todd's "The Defeat of the West"](https://alandalustribune.com/emmanuel-todds-the-defeat-of-the-west/): Perhaps the West’s most original geopolitical thinker, Emmanuel Todd recognizes the centrality of religion in all societies, even (especially?) “post-religious” ones like today’s West. His work, which convincingly predicts the defeat and fall of the West, raises the question for Muslims: Which Islamic alternative (Murad Hoffman) should we work for as the Western influence over Muslim-majority societies recedes? The four articles below are reposted from Peter Myers’ newsletter. -Kevin Barrett (1) Emmanuel Todd’s new Preface to his book The Defeat of the West The dislocation of the West: what threatens us EMMANUEL TODD OCT 06, 2025 Trump’s perversity is unfolding […]

Lost in Palestine follows my journey to Haifa in search of my mother’s ancestral home—erased after the 1948 Nakba, when my family was forced into exile. Our family is from Haifa and has been since its founding. Before that, AKKA, a town over 5000 years old. Like 90% of Palestinians, our DNA comes from the Ancient Hebrews.

So be constant in the invocation of your Lord, my brother, as we have advised you, and you will see marvels; may God fill us to overflowing with His grace. -Shaykh Al-`Arabi ad-Darqáwi, translated in Letters of a Sufi Master by Titus Burckhardt We are […]

Sachs and Sybil Fares | Date: September 2, 2025 | Unz.com Israel, with US complicity, is committing genocide in Gaza through the mass starvation of the population as well as direct mass murders and the physical destruction of Gaza’s infrastructure. Israel does the dirty work. The US Government funds it and provides diplomatic cover through its UN veto. Palantir, through “Lavendar,” provides the AI for efficient mass murder. Microsoft, through Azure cloud services, and Google and Amazon through the “Nimbus” initiative, supply core tech infrastructure for the Israeli army. This marks 21st-century war crimes as an Israel-US […]

Subsequently, the Islamic West and Al-Andalus emerged as new entities, embracing a distinct Fiqh doctrine and political strategy compared to the East. The jurisprudential mentality formed in Al-Andalus and the Islamic West in the Maliki school. However, there were many attempts to adopt other schools such as the Hanafi, the Awza’i, the Shafi’i, and the Zahiri school. Based on Ibn Hazm’s statement that the Maliki school spread in Al-Andalus through leadership and politics, several factors […]

I drove past towns called ‘Alfafar’, ‘Algemensi’, ‘Alcàsser’, and ‘Alzira’. That’s no coincidence: Alicante, for example, stems from al-Laqant, a name dating back to the Al-Andalus period when Arabic was the lingua franca across much of Spain. That influence is still visible in public spaces. As I entered Alicante, I noticed road signs not just in Spanish and English, but also in Arabic. One sign read: ‘Gran Via – Town Centre – […]

As if this was not bad enough, news has emerged that Saudi cargo vessels are delivering weapons to the zionist entity. This came to light when dock workers in Genoa, Italy blocked passage of a Saudi vessel carrying weapons to Israel. Let that sink in. The demand for Hamas to disarm was made in what came to be called the New York […]
- [Prof. Salim Mansour on "The Qur'an Problem and Islamism"](https://alandalustribune.com/prof-salim-mansour/): Political science professor emeritus Salim Mansour discusses his 2017 book The Qur’an Problem and Islamism. In it, he argues that power-hungry people have long been politicizing the Qur’an by championing their own (often simplistic) interpretations and demonizing other interpretations, from the time of the First Fitna to our own era, and that the results have generally been disastrous. But does that mean that all forms of “political Islam” or “Islamism” are inherently untenable? Does the fault lie with religion and its interpretations, or with the inherently conflictual nature of politics? And are many or even most of the apparent excesses of modern Islamism, […]

For almost a millennium, the Iberian peninsula was part of a flourishing Muslim kingdom whose heritage runs deep in modern Spanish culture. The settlement of North African Muslims began in 711 AD, leaving not just culinary and linguistic roots (common Spanish words such as algodon and aceite, meaning cotton and oil, are derived from Arabic), but also […]

That question progresses from infancy to the adult mind inquiring: “where does consciousness come from”. Both are the most fundamental questions of existence. And both appear unfathomable, inexplicable. I call this duet: The Hard Problems of Existence, borrowing from the philosopher of the […]

Pearce | Iberian-connections.yale.edu Since Washington Irving’s embassy to Spain (1826-1829) and his subsequent publication of stories and essays collected under the title “Tales of the Alhambra”, American readers, artists, and politicians have imagined and drawn inspiration from the medieval period of Spain’s history—before Spain was Spain as such. Anglophone fascination has continued through the contemporary period, often standing as a proxy for domestic issues, even in the United States, a country with no medieval past of its own and a fraught contemporary relationship with both Spanish and Arabic, the modern languages that are the heirs to the languages […]

Decades ago, when I was an American graduate student in Paris, I quickly discovered that the better my French got, the more people liked me.

No bread to break, no songs to sing, Just buzzing drones and circling wing. They gather near the aid-line fence, Starved eyes behind a wire’s defense. A bag of rice, a shattered tin… But boots and bullets thunder in. No warning call, no shelter near, Just screaming metal, dust, and fear. They came for food. They found a gun. Their bodies crumble, one by one. The mothers wrap them cloth by cloth, Their mouths too dry to […]

We distinguish in these lectures between secular mechanical ‘time’ of Dajjal’s modern West, and the system of sacred ‘time’. At the heart of the system of sacred ‘time’ is the imperative of living in harmony with ‘time’ in such a way that we may TASTE ‘time’. We taste ‘time’ as day becomes night, and as night becomes day, as light recedes to darkness, and as darkness yields to light, as dawn changes to dusk, and sunrise changes […]

Within a few decades of the fall of Granada, Spanish Muslims and Jews were force-converted to Christianity.

They (Granada Muslims) see the expulsion of the Muslims and Jews from Spain after 1492 as a form of genocide or ethnic cleansing and the beginning of a long Christian effort to drive Islam beyond Europe’s borders. They resist this attempt to obscure the past. For them, the new mosque is therefore not the result of recent globalising trends that bring Muslims to Europe but rather a milestone in the ongoing restoration of an original pre-1492 Europe.” Oskar Verkaaik via ResearchGate The conundrum of […]

- [“The 9/11 Hijackers Never Flew the Planes” – Airline Captain Dan Hanley Drops BOMBSHELL](https://alandalustribune.com/the-9-11-hijackers-never-flew-the-planes-airline-captain-dan-hanley-drops-bombshell/): Captain Dan Hanley, founder of 9/11 Pilot Whistleblowers, returns to Clayton Morris’s Redacted podcast, where he drew half a million views and 7,000 comments last fall—a sign of the widespread mistrust of the 9/11 official story that is the biggest reason Americans now hate the media enough to elect an anti-media president. Captain Hanley wrote to the House Government Oversight Committee. Extract from his letter: 9/11 was the greatest crime ever committed on American soil in its history, a crime that has never been criminally investigated. Thanks to 9/11 Commission Executive Director Philip Zelikow, not one single pilot was permitted to […]
- [Why, in Egypt, creatives are returning to calligraphy](https://alandalustribune.com/in-egypt-creatives-are-returning-to-calligraphy/): By: Moe Elhossieny | Date: May 28, 2025 | Itsnicethat.com In 1922, King Fuad I established the Khalil Agha School for Arabic Calligraphy in Cairo as part of a broader effort to modernise Egypt. Aside from the school’s role in preserving the practice, institutionalising it was a move to assert Egypt’s cultural sovereignty in the wake of independence. Since then, the school has stood as a symbol of Egypt’s modernisation ambitions and its ongoing struggle for cultural self-determination – a role it continues to play, even as it faces challenges on various fronts. Among them, the rise of new print […]
- [Is Tobacco Haram? Eric Walberg and “One Cigarette Per Day”](https://alandalustribune.com/is-tobacco-haram-eric-walberg-and-one-cigarette-per-day/): Editor’s introduction: Most Islamic scholars today consider tobacco haram. The two leading reasons are: 1) The Harm Principle (Qur’an 2:195 – “Do not throw yourselves into destruction”) Smoking is proven to cause cancer, heart disease, and premature death. Based on this, many scholars now consider it haram due to its clear and significant harm to the body, which violates the Islamic principle of preserving life. 2)  Wastefulness (Israf – Qur’an 7:31) Money spent on cigarettes is seen as wasteful, especially since it brings no benefit. The Qur’an warns against extravagance and squandering resources. Additionally, Usul-al-fiqh methods cite two other factors that might be subsumed under the […]

- [Why is There So Much Beauty in the World?](https://alandalustribune.com/why-is-there-so-much-beauty-in-the-world/): Rupert Sheldrake We are impressed by the beauty of flowers, the wings of butterflies, the iridescence of beetles and the plumage of birds, like peacocks’ tails.
